March 26, 2015
Welcome to Part Two of the of the Heavy Metal Affliction interview with Desert Dingo Racing’s co-founder Jim Graham. Last week Graham told us what it takes to get into Class 11 racing, and just how hard it is to compete in a nearly stock VW Bug that is some forty years old. This week Graham breaks down some more of the details of actually running in the Baja 1000. It’s not as simple as just showing up, suiting up and hitting the track, as you will find out.

Car addiction takes many forms, and for some, you may not even know how bad you have it until something triggers a response.
